AirPlus customers and those booking on behalf of
clients will be able to bill Airbnb for Business bookings centrally to
corporate accounts. The companies are still working on the integration, but an
AirPlus spokesperson said the payment provider plans to launch in the second
half of next year. AirPlus will roll out the solution globally in phases as
part of its core offering but did not specify which countries will be first. Since
the release of Airbnb for Business in 2014, business travel-related bookings
have tripled in growth, according to an Airbnb spokesperson. Airbnb
spend expensed on Concur increased 42 percent year over year during the
second quarter in 2016.
